Bombshell: City of Lake Worth will try to recover court costs/attorney fees over frivolous lawsuit against the Gulfstream Hotel

Before we get to that news, for everyone in attendance or watching online who hadn't heard about that horrific crime, it likely came as a big shock to hear Commissioner Ryan Maier talk about someone's face getting devoured. Very bad form and totally unnecessary, commissioner. You'll see that for yourself at the 2:45 mark in the video below.

The Lake Worth Herald will likely have more about recovering this taxpayer money in tomorrow's edition. The Herald comes out on Thursday and the print edition is available on Friday at the City's newsstand at 600 Lake Ave. If you're expecting the Post to report anything about this, well, good luck with that.

Vice Mayor Scott Maxwell "stole the thunder" of City Attorney Glen Torcivia when, at the 3:40 mark in the video during "Commission Liaison Reports", Maxwell expressed his relief regarding the judges' favorable ruling on the Gulfstream Hotel and then asks Torcivia about recovery of court costs and attorney fees.

Torcivia responded that, yes, the City will be going after court costs and other taxpayer money spent to defend that frivolous lawsuit. The exact amount will be determined later:
At the beginning of the next video, following the applause, Torcivia gets a little of his thunder back and gives his report about the Gulfstream lawsuit. This was near the end of the meeting when the City's attorney typically gives his report. He commented on another employee-related case and going after taxpayer money to defend that lawsuit also.

It needs to be noted that Commissioner Chris McVoy was absent for this entire meeting:

It's been a great couple of weeks for the City thanks in large part to the great work by our City Attorney, Glen Torcivia. To learn more about what the City's attorney is tasked with doing use this link.
